(2) Newton's Third Law (a) The two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies. TRUE / FALSE (b) The two forces in each pair may have different physical origins (for instance, one of the forces could be due to gravity, and its pair force could be due to friction or electric charge) TRUE / FALSE (c) The two forces of a 3rd law pair always act on different bodies TRUE / FALSE (d) Given that two bodies interact via some force, the accelerations of these two bodies have the same magnitude but opposite directions. (Assume no other forces act on either body.) TRUE / FALSE Explain.

Which statement is true about contact vs. non-contact forces? Interactions with contact forces have a force acting on both objects, while interactions with non-contact forces only have a force on one of the objects Contact forces require the two interacting objects to be touching, while objects can interact at a distance with non-contact forces
